Scheduled Tasks

The Scheduled Tasks screen is used to select and configure tasks to be automatically run on a specified cycle. For example, certain tasks, such as the census download, can be scheduled to run every eight hours. Other tasks, such as the employee download, can be scheduled to run once a day, while some can be set to run once a month or quarterly.

Depending on the selected task, the processing can be configured to run daily, on specific days of the week, or on specific months.

General	Displays the basic information on the scheduled task.
